the answer would be m1:m2 as velocities are also equal because kinetic energies are equal

Hey there!

Given,

Two bodies m1 and m2

Let the velocity of 1st body be = v1

Then its Kinetic energy = p²/2m1=(m1v1)²/2m2

Let the velocity of 2nd body be = v2

Then its Kinetic energy = p²/2m2 = (m2v2)²/2m2

Now, (m1v1)²/2m1 = (m2v2)²/2m2

 ∴(m1v1)/(m2v2) = \frac{ \sqrt{2m2} }{ \sqrt{2m1} }

Then Ratio = √(2m2) : √(2m1)

Hope It Helps You!
